Remote
Configuration
and Control
This section describes the connection through which the USB Extender Plus can be
configured and controlled remotely via Simple Instruction Set (SIS) commands, and
describes the commands that are available. Topics include:
• SIS Commands
• Using the Command and Response Table
• Command and Response Table for SIS Commands
SIS Commands
Using SIS commands, you can remotely set up and control the USB Extenders Plus
via a host computer or other device (such as a control system) that is attached to the
Config port or to the front panel Host port (AAP and decorator-style models only). If the
computer, transmitter, and receiver are connected to a gigabit network switch for a network
connection, SIS commands can be sent over Ethernet. You can issue SIS commands
to the extender using a communication software program such as Extron DataViewer or
HyperTerminal.
NOTE: The SIS command for resetting must be issued to both the transmitter and the
receiver. Do not reset one unit without resetting the other.
SIS commands consist of one or more characters per field. No special characters are
required to begin or end a command sequence. When the USB Extender Plus determines
that a command that was entered is valid, it executes the command and sends a response
to the host device.
Most responses from the USB Extender Plus to the host computer end with a carriage
return and a line feed (CR/LF =
]
), which signals the end of the response character string.
A string is one or more characters.
